Mess Ukulele chords by Noah Kahan

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

intro:
Bb   A

Verse 1:
Bb
If I could give this all back
                              F
I would be home in the morning
Gm
I'd wake up in a cold sweat
                                           F
Take a flight back to the city I was born in
Bm
And I would wipe myself clean
                              A
Of what I knew was unimportant
Gm
I'd want typical things

I'd try to fit back into all my old clothing


Pre-Chorus:
Eb
And I would prove myself wrong
Gm
That all along, the problem was me
F
With all my bitterness gone

Happy, I'd be


Chorus:
Bb
I'll move back home forever, I'll feed the dogs
Eb
And I'll put all my pieces back together

Where they belong, and I'll say
Gm           F                Bb        Eb
"I'm a mess, I'm a mess, oh God, I'm a mess"
    Bb
And I'll take 89 to Boston, see my love
                          Eb
And I'll help her set up her new apartment

And we'll get drunk, and she'll say
Gm                    F                    Bb             Eb
"Shit, you're a mess, you're a mess, good God, you're a mess
    Gm             F              Bb
Oh, you're a mess, you're a mess, good God"


Verse 2:
Bb
So I paid off my debts, but I found the world boring
Gm                                                          Dm
So I called my old friends, but they only ever ask me how tour is
Bb
And there's still weight on my back, I just try to ignore it
Gm
I guess the stage was my mask

I forgot the way I looked before I wore it


Pre-Chorus:
Em
And I would prove myself wrong
Gm
That all along, the problem was me
F                        Eb
With all my bitterness gone
F
Happy, I'll be


Chorus:
Bb
I'll move back home forever, I'll feed the dogs
Eb
And I'll put all my pieces back together

Where they belong, and I'll say
Gm           F                 Bb          Eb
"I'm a mess, I'm a mess, oh God, I'm a mess"
Bb
And I'll take 89 to Boston, see my love
                   Eb
And I'll help her set up her new apartment

And we'll get drunk, and she'll say
Gm                   F                     Bb               Eb
"Shit, you're a mess, you're a mess, good God, you're a mess
Gm                 F
Oh, you're a mess, you're a mess"


Bridge:
Eb
That's not what I had hoped

Now I find comfort in the cold


Chorus:
Bb
I'll move back home forever, I'll feed the dogs
               Eb
And I'll put all my pieces back together

Where they belong, and I'll say
Gm           F                 Bb           Eb
"I'm a mess, I'm a mess, oh God, I'm a mess"
Bb
And I'll take 89 to Boston, see my love
             Eb
And I'll help her set up her new apartment

And we'll get drunk, and she'll say
Gm                    F                      Bb             Eb
"Shit, you're a mess, you're a mess, good God, you're a mess
Gm                 F                     Bb
Oh, you're a mess, you're a mess, good God"
